Section II
Using language—It as an empty subject
观察下列教材原句,注意黑体部分的用法
①But it is vital not to take any chances.
② It is important to remember that Ebola doesn't respect national boundaries.
③It is so inspiring to have colleagues like Wilton, Maisy and Alfonso, not to mention all the others I have worked with.
④In a world still facing so many problems, it is absolutely essential for us all to collaborate to create a global community with a shared future of peace and prosperity.
【我的感悟】
以上各句中,it充当的是 ,而不定式短语在句中充当 。
形式主语
真正主语
一、概念
当主语部分相对于谓语部分而言太长时,常把主语部分移到句尾,在主语的位置放上it。it没有具体的意义,仅用于平衡句子,以避免头重脚轻。it作形式主语时常代替三种语法结构:动词不定式(短语)、动词ing(短语)和从句。
二、用法
1.it代替动词不定式(短语)作形式主语
常见句型如下:
(1)It+be+形容词+(for/of sb.) to do sth.
(2)It+be+名词+to do sth.
(3)It+be+介词短语+to do sth.
(4)It takes sb.some time to do sth.
(5)It's up to sb.to do sth.
①It is essential for us to take effective measures to protect the environment.
采取有效措施来保护环境对我们来说是至关重要的。
②It is a wise choice to develop a reading habit, as reading broadens our horizons.
养成阅读习惯是一个明智的选择,因为阅读拓宽我们的视野。
③It is beyond our expectations to see such rapid progress in the project.
看到项目取得如此快速的进展,这超出了我们的预期。
④It took the scientists years of hard work to make the breakthrough in this field.
科学家们花费了数年的时间才在这个领域取得突破。
⑤When faced with setbacks, it's up to us to decide whether to give up or rise to the challenge.
面对挫折时,是选择放弃还是迎接挑战取决于我们自己。
【点拨】
(1)在It is+形容词+for sb.to do sth.句式中作表语的形容词说明不定式行为的性质和特点。常见的形容词有easy, important, difficult, possible, necessary等。
(2)在It is+形容词+of sb.to do sth.句式中,形容词用于说明不定式的逻辑主语的品行、性格、性质等。常见的形容词有kind, nice, good, considerate, stupid, silly, careful, careless等。
①It is important for students to develop good timemanagement skills.
对于学生来说,培养良好的时间管理能力是很重要的。
②It is considerate of the community volunteers to visit the elderly in nursing homes frequently.
社区志愿者们经常去养老院看望老人,真是非常体贴。

2.it 代替动词ing(短语)作形式主语
用it代替动词ing(短语)作形式主语的常见句型如下:
It+be+no good/no use/useless/a waste of time/...+动词ing(短语)...
①It is no good just complaining about the problem without taking any action.
光是抱怨问题而不采取任何行动是没有用的。
②It is a waste of time trying to persuade such a person to join us.
试图说服这样的人加入我们真是浪费时间。

①It is no use (try) to persuade him to give up that wrong idea, because he won't listen.
②It is no good (eat) junk food if you want to stay healthy.
3.it代替从句作形式主语
用it作形式主语的主语从句常见句型如下:
(1)It+be+形容词(clear, certain, obvious, important, likely, necessary ...)+that 从句
(2)It+be+名词词组(a fact,a pity, a shame,common knowledge,good news, no wonder, no surprise, an honor...)+that 从句
(3)It+动词(短语)(seem, happen, occur, turn out等)+that从句
(4)It be+过去分词(said, reported, believed, thought, known, arranged ...)+that 从句

It is requested that he (should)give a performance at the party.
有人请求他在聚会上表演一个节目。
(2)it作形式主语时,真正的主语从句可以由that,whether(或口语中的if)连接代词(如what,who)或连接副词(如how, when)引导。
It is unclear whether/if she will come.
她是否会来尚未可知。
It is likely that

A
(2025·山东师大附中高二上期中)Age is just a number when it comes to pursuing one's passions.Older individuals often bring a wealth of experience, skills, and fresh ideas to the table, challenging the prejudice that success must come at a certain age.This is illustrated by James Thompson, a 98yearold artist, who has been running art workshops at a local community center for the past five years.
James, residing in Harmony Hills Retirement Community, started his workshops to share his lifelong love for painting and drawing.Despite his age, he
inspires participants of diverse ages and backgrounds.“Art is about expressing yourself, no matter your age,” James smiles, encouraging his students to explore their creativity.
Some participants come with little to no experience, while others find using their hands challenging due to health conditions.James advises them to focus more on the joy of creating rather than the outcome.“One of my students couldn't hold a brush steadily, and I told him it's not about perfection but about expression,” says James.
The workshops began in 2019, providing a creative relief during a time of isolation.James motivated residents to pick up a brush and explore their imaginations, encouraging a supportive environment.Besides teaching artistic skills, the workshops have also become a place to form meaningful connections.Mary Collins, 84, a regular attendee, speaks fondly of the friendship
and encouragement she finds in James's classes.
According to Lucy Harper, the community center coordinator, “James is truly beloved here.He's not only an exceptional artist but also a mentor (导师) whose passion for life is contagious.We're lucky to have someone like him who makes everyone feel warm.”

It was a beautiful spring day.The Earth was finally awakening from her winter sleep.New life was everywhere.The sky was clear and blue.The air smelled sweet.The sun was kissing the world with its warmth.
I was driving to pick my son up from the sheltered workshop.On my drive I saw the flowers opening in people's yards.The fields were full of yellow dandelions (蒲公英) with some already turning into little white balls of seeds.The trees were starting to awaken too.The flowers on them were white, purple, and pink.The songs of the birds were in the air as well.I was feeling the love from the creation all around me.I longed to be a part of it and share my love as well.
I pulled into the driveway of the sheltered workshop and parked my car.As I got out, I saw a lost little caterpillar (毛毛虫) crawling the wrong way towards the sidewalk.He was just about to go under my tire when I reached down and picked him up.I held him gently in my hand and walked over to the grassy hillside on the other side of the parking lot.I sat him down and said, “You will never become a butterfly if you get run over, my friend.Please stay in the grass.” Then I walked off with a smile on my face and a happiness filling my heart.
A friend once wrote me and asked what he could do to make a difference in this world.I wrote him back and said, “Everything!” Everything we do makes a difference in this world.Everything we do can help all the creation in the world.Every act of kindness, every shared smile, every moment of love makes a difference.Even saving a single butterfly is priceless.

(2025·山东烟台高二上期中)
The Powerful Techniques to Develop SelfTrust
We've all heard of selfconfidence and selfesteem (自尊), but just what exactly is selftrust? Actually, selftrust is similar to selfreliance and will eventually come down to liking yourself.1( )
Test yourself.The best way to recover your selftrust is to put yourself to the test and give yourself the chance to prove yourself.You might as well spend some more time alone.2( ) This is one of the reasons that many people will go on trips to “find themselves”.
Build your confidence.If you lack confidence, then a good way to fight against that is to add to your set of skills.3( ) As you do, you'll give yourself something new to feel good about and you'll be broadening your capabilities.
4( ) To trust yourself, you should try to know precisely what it is that you want to complete.And you can't thereby ignore all the things that don't matter to you.When you learn to do that, you can in turn make sure that you're concentrating on the right things and making progress.
Spend time with friends and family who believe in you.Surrounding yourself with other more positive people benefits you a lot.5( ) Thus you will build the confidence you have in yourself.
A.Make full preparations.
B.Define what you want to achieve.
C.Do you believe you can take care of things around?
D.They will trust you unconditionally and give you warmth.
E.But if you've lost faith, how can you get back to that point?
F.Find a hobby you feel gifted at and spend time developing that.
G.You'll be surprised at how well you can manage as a fish out of water.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是培养自信的有力技巧。
1.解析:选E。上文介绍了自我信任的概念,下文开始讲述恢复自我信任的方法。E 项起到承上启下的作用,其中 “lost faith” 与上文形成对比,引出下文恢复自我信任的内容。故选E。
2.解析:选G。前一句提到 “You might as well spend some more time alone.”,G 项进一步说明独处时自己也能很好地应对,对上文进行补充说明,且 “as a fish out of water” 形象地表达了独处这种有点陌生的状态。故选G。
3.解析:选F。上文提到“Build your confidence.If you lack confidence, then a good way to fight against that is to add to your set of skills.”F 项是对“add to your set of skills”的具体举例,符合语境,说明了通过培养爱好来增加技能,从而建立信心。故选F。
4.解析:选B。本空是段落的主题句。根据下文“To trust yourself, you should try to know precisely what it is that you want to complete.”可知,本段内容与明确目标有关。 B 项能够很好地概括本段内容,其中 “Define what you want to achieve” 与下文 “know precisely what it is that you want to complete” 意思相近。故选B。
5.解析:选D。根据上文“Surrounding yourself with other more positive people benefits you a lot.”可知,空处应该继续介绍这样做的好处。D项具体说明了和积极的人在一起的好处,“They” 指代上文的 “friends and family who believe in you”,符合逻辑。故选D。
Ⅲ.语法填空(每小题1.5分,共15分)
(2025·浙江温州高二上期中)A statue of Petofi stands in the square in front of Lu Xun Museum in Shanghai, 1 (welcome) millions of visitors for the traditional friendship between China and Hungary.2 time went by, there was an increasing interest in learning the Chinese language in Hungary.

Cultural exchanges and mutual learning between China and Hungary have brought people closer and closer.The horizon is vast.There are 10 (end) possibilities which have not been explored.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一名匈牙利女孩学习汉语的经历,同时在匈牙利,人们学习汉语的兴趣也越来越大。
1.解析:welcoming。考查非谓语动词。句子的谓语动词是stands,设空处是非谓语动词作状语,welcome与其逻辑主语a statue之间是主动关系,要用动词ing形式。故填welcoming。
2.解析:As。考查状语从句。as time went by意为“随着时间的推移”,as引导的是时间状语从句,因此空格处是as,位于句首,首字母大写。故填As。
3.解析:whose。考查定语从句。设空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词Varge Bonita。设空处引导词作定语,修饰后面的名词Chinese name。故填whose。
4.解析:fell。考查动词时态。由at the age of seven可知,句子时态用一般过去时。故填fell。
5.解析:a。考查冠词。根据语境可知,此处表达“一种声调特别的语言”,表示泛指,应该用不定冠词修饰,special是以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
6.解析:to。考查介词。access to是固定搭配,意为“接触,进入”。故填to。
7.解析:popularity。考查名词。根据语境和设空前的定冠词the可知,设空处要用其名词形式。故填popularity。
8.解析:commonly。考查副词。设空处单词修饰动词have been spotted,要用其副词形式。故填commonly。
9.解析:be seen。考查被动语态。sb.be likely to do是固定短语,意为“某人可能做某事”,因此要用不定式的被动语态。故填be seen。
10.解析:endless。考查形容词。空格处用形容词作定语,修饰名词possibilities,空格处意为“无限的”。故填endless。
